Hello NANOG!

I emailed you a few months ago asking for help understanding typical
middlebox deployments in enterprise networks. 57 of you responded - thank
you so much!

Several of you asked if I'd share the data post-study; I've put together a
brief report on our findings here: http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2012/EECS-2012-24[..]
If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Thanks again for your help and support for our research!

Best,
Justine

Thank you Justine!

your research recalled me to a recent middlebox-related publication:

"An Untold Story of Middleboxes in Cellular Networks"
by Zhaoguang Wang, Zhiyun Qian, Qiang Xu, Zhuoqing Morley Mao, and
Ming Zhang, Proceedings of SIGCOMM 2011.
( http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2011/papers/sigcomm/p[..] )
